At work today, a couple of people brought in meals of fried chicken gizzards, purchased from the deli at the local grocery chain. They smelled wonderful. I love fried chicken gizzards and livers. And, they are not very expensive.
So one of the co-workers was enjoying the meal until she was told what part of the chicken the gizzard is. She could not eat them any more.
I am shameless. I like organ meat. I have not tried tongue, but I like liver, gizzards, tripe, heart, calf fries, head cheese, pigs feet, and ham hocks.
I almost bought fried chicken gizzards for dinner tonight. But I do not do fried foods well, and I think that would not be good for me.
At work, we started talking about exotic or strange foods we had eaten: snake, squirrel, crocodile, alligator, crawfish, to name a few.
One of the topics was chicken feet. We could only imagine using them for making broth or soup. But, going on line tonight, I see that chicken feet can be sort of stir fried and seasoned, and then eaten. As we could all imagine, they are bony and cartilaginous, but with the seasoning, tasty.
